This elegant species was found in Fantee. The whole upper parts of the body, 
the legs and tail, are black, most beautifully banded and spotted with white. The 
bands on the tail are alternately wide and narrow ; the wider bands are each much 
and abruptly dilated above into a kind of spot, whilst the narrow ones become 
gradually wider in the inverse direction. The legs are spotted above with 
white ; the under parts of them, as well as of the belly and throat, are also of the 
same colour with the spots.

This species may readily be distinguished from all that have been hitherto disco- 
vered, by the two large scales, affixed one on each side to the back part of the 
head. These scale-like processes, are covered by the same scaly integuments 
which cover the head and body.
